Hi,

I have an issue where if my app displays a new screen while the display is off then the user has to activate the screen themselves so they can see the new screen. Is there a way for my app to programatically turn the display on when a new screen is displayed?

Regards,

Ben

You mean backlight time,

If Yes try with this on starting of your new screen.

That would enable me to stop the display turning off, but I can I turn it on once it has gone off?

I think you can try like this

if(!Backlight.isEnabled())
        Backlight.enable( true);

Thanks.

I think that works if the display is just off, what about if the handset has been locked? Is there anyway to prorammatically unlock the handset so a screen can be displayed?

AFAIK there is no way to unlock,

But you can find it using,

ApplicationManager.isSystemLocked

Thanks.
